## Abstract

A user terminal according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a transmitting section that transmits a measurement result of a reference signal measured by applying a spatial domain filter; and a control section that assumes, when having low latency beam selection configured by higher layer signaling and receiving confirmation information regarding the measurement result at time T, that a spatial domain filter of a given channel after a time when a second time has elapsed from the time T is the same as a spatial domain filter corresponding to the latest measurement result transmitted before a time going back by a first time from the time T. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a TCI-state of a channel, QCL assumption, or a beam can be switched at high speed.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A terminal comprising:
a receiver that receives a reference signal by applying a spatial domain filter for receiving the reference signal;
a transmitter that transmits a latest measurement result of the reference signal to be measured, before a symbol at a first time previous to a symbol in which downlink control information (DCI) indicating confirmation information regarding the latest measurement result is received; and
a processor that, if the received DCI includes a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process number and a new data indicator (NDI), and if a beam selection without transmission configuration indication state (TCI-state) is configured by higher layer signaling, performs a control to transmit a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), subsequent to a symbol at a second time elapsed after the DCI indicating the confirmation information regarding the latest measurement result is received, by applying a same spatial domain filter as the spatial domain filter for receiving the reference signal of the transmitted latest measurement result,
wherein the second time is based on numerology.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The terminal according to claim 1, wherein the measurement result is a latest measurement result that was transmitted before a symbol at a first time previous to the symbol in which the confirmation information was received.

### Claim 3

A radio communication method for a terminal, comprising:
receiving a reference signal by applying a spatial domain filter for receiving the reference signal;
transmitting a latest measurement result of the reference signal to be measured, before a symbol at a first time previous to a symbol in which downlink control information (DCI) indicating confirmation information regarding the latest measurement result is received; and
if the received DCI includes a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process number and a new data indicator (NDI), and if a beam selection without transmission configuration indication state (TCI-state) is configured by higher layer signaling, performing a control to transmit a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), subsequent to a symbol at a second time elapsed after the DCI indicating the confirmation information regarding the latest measurement result is received, by applying a same spatial domain filter as the spatial domain filter for receiving the reference signal of the transmitted latest measurement result,
wherein the second time is based on numerology.

### Claim 4

A system comprising a terminal and a base station, wherein:
the terminal comprises:
a first receiver that receives a reference signal by applying a spatial domain filter for receiving the reference signal;
a first transmitter that transmits a latest measurement result of the reference signal to be measured, before a symbol at a first time previous to a symbol in which downlink control information (DCI) indicating confirmation information regarding the latest measurement result is received; and
a processor that, if the received DCI includes a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process number and a new data indicator (NDI), and if a beam selection without transmission configuration indication state (TCI-state) is configured by higher layer signaling, performs a control to transmit a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), subsequent to a symbol at a second time elapsed after the DCI indicating the confirmation information regarding the latest measurement result is received, by applying a same spatial domain filter as the spatial domain filter for receiving the reference signal of the transmitted latest measurement result,
wherein the second time is based on numerology, and
the base station comprises:
a second receiver that receives the measurement result; and
a second transmitter that transmits the reference signal and the confirmation information.
